Hey all, I'm having some kind of a weird problem here.
I installed my water cooling system, here's what it consists of:
chevette heater core (1985)
Maze 4 Waterblock
Via Aqua 1300 Pump / Reservoir combo
I unhooked everything, installed the system, turned the pump on and let it run for a few minutes to bleed the air out. I had tightened the nuts on the maze4 basically hand tight, nothing major, but not loose either, it was definitely a nice snug fit.
So I turn on the machine, it powers on for all of a half a second, and then turns right off! I think perhaps it thinks that my CPU is overheating, or that there is no fan attached, so its turning off right away. However I have the radiator cooler fan (just a thermaltake 80 mm for the moment) plugged in to one of the fan ports on my motherboard. so why does it think there is no cooling? (if that is what is going on).
I took out the cpu, which was a royal pain in the *** with the waterblock already screwed on, and then turned the machine on, and it stayed on (of course it wouldn't do anything with no cpu).
I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that my cpu is screwed up. I think the mobo thinks there is no fan attached.
anyone have any ideas? please help! thanks in advance, I'll go do some trial and error stuff now.
